I don't know where to go to find someone who could potentially help with exercising/schooling my pony. He's got schooling in him so its more fittening him up as I might look to sell him (not clicking with him anymore) but also because I'm going to uni in September and would like him to be...
Have met WUAS at Twemlows when I was on placement, saw his movement and was allowed to go in with him and I can say he was my favourite!! Didn't get to see Jumbo as he was due in the week after but he's meant to be fab and the staff looked forward to having him back :)
Sure I think my pony is wasted sometimes especially as I can gain confidence one day on him and lose it the next, of course I'd love to do him justice but its never going to happen. And obviously if I was brave enough I would get him hacking out/going to shows but I'm a wuss... HOWEVER!
He...
Personally I wouldn't go for a shetland because as much as I love mine, he was a total pain when he was younger. I've had him from when he was 10 months old and he was completely feral. Took a lot of time and patience to get him to not be so naughty and he still has his moments occasionally but...
The difference is this foal is quite timid (we weren't around for a few hours after she was born, luckily foaling went fine!), she may have slight naughty behaviour but she'll actually turn around and shoot off if you move towards her any further than her head/neck really. I'll try as much as...
Velvet just likes to try rear on you when you walk away, as though you must NOT ignore her when she wanted attention. Also went through a kicking when turning her bum to you stage but thats not so bad anymore after getting a tap on the bum (she also respects the electric tape). I'm just very...
Well Velvet (Arkadi Dream (finally decided on a show name)) is now a month old and she's a little terror!! Walked away from her the other day to catch out of the corner of my eye a foal trying to rear on me!
She's still really funny about you going to her but will happily come towards you and I...
I very clearly remember the girl getting her boob bitten and Tullis getting a nip as well, he did say he was a bit of a barsteward temperament wise but obviously had lots of ability.
OP - I hope you find a lovely youngster, there are some cracking ones out there!
Only stallion I know of (having met a few) with a temperament I wouldn't breed from/buy youngstock with his bloodline is Peppermill. Sure he has loads of ability but he doesn't half BITE, poor girl I was helping got her boob bitten and that was the second person he had bitten in less than 30...

I'm not entirely sure it is right though but just passing it on :) And in the wild... geldings would not exist...
Someone posted an article recently though about how being with geldings can abort foals?
Not all pg's work and I've always known people to scan beforehand else its a waste sometimes
See I found some little scrapes on my foals hocks (outsides on both) and have no idea how she did it, shes now also managed to rub her neck (this could be on the tree stump as shes really itchy).
Same about the rugs, much as we like to pamper them they are animals and we only have odd showers at...
